Environmentally Friendly With Honda and Nissan!
Tuesday, May 24th, 2011
Hartford Honda Dealership is now carrying the all new, 2011 Honda Insight. It was ranked number 24 out of 33 Affordable Small Cars. It is powered by an Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, which has an electric motor that creates acceleration power and produces like a generator to charge the battery during braking or coasting. The Insights four cylinder engine and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), helps conserve fuel.
The Insight, from Warwick Honda Dealership, comes with a pretty decent protection package. It consists of three years or 36,000 mile basic warranty and a five year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Honda also covers the Insights Integrated Motor Assist battery pack with a warranty, but you will have to check with your local dealer to find out the length. The Insight also did very well on crash tests. They received five stars in front and side drive crash tests and four stars in front passenger, side rear passenger and rollover two-wheel drive crash tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Insight it’s highest ranking of “Good” in front offset and side impact crash tests. It also comes with a long list of safety features. Some of them include; anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution, multiple threshold front airbags, front side airbags, LATCH, vehicle stability assist and side curtain airbags.
Another environmentally friendly vehicle to check out, would be the 2011 Nissan Leaf, which can be purchased at Worcester Nissan Dealer. It was
ranked number 2 out of 9 Upscale Small Cars. It comes with a 107 horsepower electric motor that gets it’s power from a 90-kilowatt lithium-ion battery pack. When the batteries are fully charged, the Leaf is estimated to get 73 miles per charge with climate and driving conditions taken into consideration. However, as long as you don’t use the heater, the air conditioner and it is great weather outside, the Leaf should get 106/92 miles per charge city/highway.
Nissan has equipped the Leaf with a pretty basic protection package. It consists of three years or 36,000 mile basic warranty, a sixty year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty and the lithium-ion battery is covered for ninety six years or 100,000 miles. There hasn’t been any crash tests done on the Leaf, but it does come with a long list of safety features. Some of them include; Nissan’s Advanced Airbag System with dual-stage supplemental front airbags, driver and front passenger seat mounted side impact supplemental airbags and roof mounted side impact supplemental airbags. The Leaf also comes with Vehicle Dynamic Control, Traction Control System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, a tire pressure monitoring system and LATCH.
Both of these vehicles are great for the environment and would be wonderful to own. Go to your local Honda and Nissan dealership and test drive one or two. I am sure one of the two places will have exactly what you are looking for.

This would give you an idea of the lowest price of the car available.
Check Specifications

Shop Around
You should always compare the price of your car in multiple dealers within and outside the countries.

How Ridgid Is The Honda Ridgeline?
Sunday, February 27th, 2011
Of course, most vehicles that are produced and manufactured around the globe work well. However, upon meeting the Honda Ridgeline, the views have changed and people have started proclaiming this vehicle as the truck that actually works. This is based on the premise that most of the trucks that roam the streets and country roads are built to perform. However, these trucks are not very much capable of doing all types of work and have not been specifically built to take in various types of cargo without much hassle. This missing link has already been created and it comes in the form of the Honda Ridgeline. Test drive one today at Kingston Honda Dealership.
What the new Honda Ridgeline has are the essentials that a truck must have. It could do rough road duties that just shows off just how durable this vehicle could be. It is constructed with a certain rigidity so as to withstand the various pressures of being a truck. Its cargo room is quite plentiful and it is entirely versatile so much so that any kind of cargo could be loaded and transported using the Honda Ridgeline. Honda prides itself for the Honda Ridgeline for they have been able to create and design a truck that is the very first and at present the only pick up truck that has received the government crash rating test of five stars for frontal impact tests as well as for side impact tests. This mainly proves that the truck is not only excellent in its duties and responsibilities but it also is outstanding when it comes to providing safety for its passengers which is very important. The chances of this truck doing a rollover are also minute as tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
5000 pounds is the Honda Ridgeline’s towing capacity. Its payload capacity reaches some 1550 pounds. The power comes from a very efficient V6 engine that produces 247 units of horsepower. Agile, efficient, and durable are just a few of the adjectives that describes this remarkable truck. Making dealerships like Chester Ford or Ford Dealership Knoxville very nervous, knowing the reputation Honda carries with the Accord and Civic, they know what they are up against.
